Guan Yin lot 91 of 100

A road flat as a palm

Highest (上上). Grade from the related Goodfate edition. Grades differ between temples, and many Taiwanese temples print none.

好把愁眉須展開

大才大用薦將來

一條大路平如掌

凡有施為總稱懷

Now smooth out those worried brows.

Great talents, for great use, are being recommended.

The wide road lies as flat as your palm,

And all you set out to do should suit your heart.

What this lot says

The verse opens by telling you to stop frowning. Someone is being put forward for work that fits their ability, and the road ahead is as level as the palm of a hand.

It is one of the easier lots, and it still asks something of you. Being recommended means being ready to act when the door opens.

If you have been anxious about a job application or a new role, prepare your materials and say yes to the introductions on offer. Treat the worry as something you can set down for now.

A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
